Asking For Mother, Female 58, Lahore
Does Lexoberon syrup (which is very sweet in taste due to some artificial sweeteners) increase the blood sugar levels in patient with type 2 diabetes? I am observing a spike after its usage in my mother's BSR.
It shouldn't effect that much DM
Use skylax drops
If you are sure it’s raising BSR then quit and start an alternate which is sugar free after consulting your doctor. Regards
Use another one... Like duphalac n motilium
avoide karin
istanbul husk two table spoon twice daily with warm water...yes increase blood sugar random bsr
Yes it doea...use MOVCOL sachet
Its Safe
yes it can , better avoid it and try giving her ispaghula husk or syrup senokot
laxuberon contains sodium picosulfate as the active ingredient and saccharin as the sweetener. Saccharin is a non-sugar sweetener.
It really doesn't make a big difference if syrups are used in diabetics.
Yes
yes it cause high blood sugr level
if u want aaxatove than u can also use alternative like Duphalac
And some Neutraceutical like Fibo syp
Yes.. It increase blood suger lever.. Dnt use thz in diabetic pt.. Use syp. duphalac 3tsf at night... Use more sald.. Nd vagitables.. Pani drink more water
Please make sure that the pateint is taking his meds and on good diet control and you can switch to skylax drops if you want
Use syrup cremaffin instead of lexoberon. It is sugar free .
no its not increas8 blood sugars,it safe..
And lets supposed it contain sugar ,so how much it has, almost nothing .
better to use Prospan (sugar free) syp if needed
switch to skilax drops at night with good diet control ,, exercise ,,
yes it is having sweetener that is not allowed in diabetes
does not effect RBS that much ,
good diet control needed . take medications regularly
Please check HbA1c every 3 or 6 months
use alternative options like duphalac
or simpla ispaghul
yes , it does. Any sweat thing cause increase in blood sugar depends how much you consume.
yes can cause it , use isphagol 2 tsp once a day for 3 days and add more vegetables and soft diet in meals .
yes, instead of Laxoberon ,Duphalac is better as it stays in the GIT and does not affect blood sugar level
Well, Lexoberon or Sodium Picosulphate can be given safely to Diabetic patients. It does not increases blood sugar.
Make sure she is hydrated.
Not really. Adequate water intake good sugar control, routine medications on time can help a lot. if possible an evening walk for 15-20 mins will be of great help and will reduce blood sugar levels. Skipped meals, skipped medication doses are the major contributors in high blood sugar levels. So better to check the basic things first plus if there is hypertension medication for that on time is important equally

she is eating while flour chapati for 5 to 6 days. can this be a reason too?

Yes, it can be the reason as bread and other refined flour foods can increase blood sugar levels. So better to wave off chappati. But can be taken 1-2 times in a week once sugar levels get settled return to normal diet.

White flour has more carbohydrates and thus increases blood sugar. Avoid white flour as well . How high does her BSR go?

For how many days have you been observing high BSR? Is BSF also high? Since when have you been giving syp laxoberon ? Do you check BSR after lunch/dinner also? If yes, is that also high?

You can use Tablets LAXOBERON instead
lexoberon does not increase blood sugar.
its over dosing can cause loose motions ,dehydration hypokalemia and muscle weekness . its chronic use may cause renal stone
Assalam o Alaikum. Laxoberon contains lactulose along with main ingredient Sodium Picosulphate. Lactulose is a form of sugar which increases blood sugar. I would suggest using Dulcolax Sugar free syrup or Laxoberon tablets. All laxatives should be used with plenty of water.
yes
Yes it can, you can use cremaffin instead
It depends on how much rise in the blood sugar do you find after giving the syrup? Also, what is the current control level of blood sugar? Average readings? Ideally, the syrup should not be raising the blood sugar enough to be worried about
Regards
Thanks for choosing the platform for your query. I m surprised no one is asking the reason of using laxaburon at first place. Why is patient constipated?
How s blood sugar control?
,when was HbA1c levels. ?
Any recent appointment with a specialist ?
How about other diabetes complications ?
Any changes made to diet recently?
.so if you are seriously interested to know the reason then consult your doctor directly or online appointment for detailed checkup.

it's pretty much possibly to fluctuate the blood sugar levels with such additives. I would recommend switch it to Skilax drops (if no known previous allergy) 10 drops diluted in a cup of water at night. By all means prolonged use of lexatives should be avoided. This was a general advice but please follow your doctor for details.
hi generally Speaking is safe in diabetes but sometimes a spike is observe in some people
